Authorities say four people – a man, his two children, and his niece -- were killed in a single-car crash over the weekend.

Police officials confirmed the crash happened Saturday after 9 p.m. in front of Pellegrino Chevrolet on Gateway Boulevard, just off Interstate 295 in Westville.

The driver lived roughly a mile and a half away from the scene of the crash.

The family was reportedly on the way home from a birthday party when the driver crashed into a pole.
